It's a great game and it was groundbreaking in the indie space, but you can't just live off the one game forever. Imagine if Toby Fox did that with Undertale. And then complained about not having money.
I mean, until Chapter 3+4 releases, Deltarune has been free to play.
He's just merchandised the shit out of it and Undertale.
If you can pull it off, successful merchandising is far more lucrative than the original media. A tale as old as consumerism.
Stardew Valley, Minecraft
Terraria too, but all have continued to get a shit ton of content added over the years.
Right, and even if they were exceptions, the operative word was expect. It can happen but it's not a guarantee.
This is the only realm where ConcernedApe and Notch have any commonality
